Connective tissue is made up of water, cells and extracellular matrix

Large fixed cells with irregular processes. They secrete non-rigid extracellular matrix, collagen and fibres. Which connective tissue cell is being described?

The lamina propria of the oral mucosa is made up of which type of connective tissue?

These fixed connective tissue cells contain granules of heparin and histamine. They play a key role in the inflammatory process of the immune system. Which connective tissue cell is being described?

Which of the following are the most prevalent fibres in connective tissue?

Which of the following is a function of the connective tissue?

Which of the following is NOT a loose connective tissue?

Which of the following is NOT a specialised connective tissue?

Which type of cartilage can be found in the articular disc of the temporomandibular joint?

Which type of connective tissue is found in ligaments and tendons?

Which of the following are accessory organs of the digestive system?

Which of the following form the walls of the digestive tract?

Which of the following is NOT an activity of the digestive system?

Which of the following statements about digestion ARE correct?

Which of the following statements about the large intestine is INCORRECT?

Which of the following statements about the liver is NOT correct?

Which of the following statements about the salivary glands are true?

Which of the following statements about the stomach is NOT correct?

Which of the following statements on enzymes are TRUE?

In response to adrenaline heart rate and metabolic rate slow down

Insulin converts glycogen to glucose for energy

Insulin promotes the storage of glucose by increasing conversion of glucose as glycogen

Insulin reduces blood glucose levels

Insulin regulates blood glucose and other absorbed nutrients

Noradrenaline influences the diameter of blood vessels

The adrenal medulla secretes 2 hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline

The anterior pituitary gland secretes all the following hormones except:

The endocrine system comprises a number of glands with ducts

The endocrine system is concerned with homeostasis

The fight or flight reflex is initiated in response to acute stress

The hypothalamus is connected to the pituitary gland via a duct

The Pituitary and hypothalamus regulate the activity of most other endocrine glands

The pituitary gland and hypothalamus work together as a unit

Together the hypothalamus and pituitary gland work a system called Negative Feedback Regulation

Which of the following hormones is not secreted by the thyroid gland?

Which of the following statements about hormones is incorrect?

Which of the following statements is incorrect about the function of glucocorticoids?

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

Atrial systole accounts for most of ventricular filling

Cardiac muscle fibres are uninucleate, striated, branched and contain intercalated discs

Cardiac muscle fibres have are multinucleate, have an irregular arrangement of actin and myosin and are long and cylindrical

In the foetal circulation blood by-passes the lungs and passes from the right atrium to the left atrium via the foramen ovale

In this blood pressure reading 120/80mmHg, 80 represents the systolic blood pressure

The circulatory system does not include the pulmonary circulation

The circulatory system transports nutrients, oxygen and hormones to the cells of the body

The elastic layer in arteries allows them to

The inferior vena cava drains the upper half and limbs of the body

The pulmonary vein returns oxygenated type of blood to the heart

The wall of an artery is thicker than that of a vein because arteries

Venous return to the heart is assisted by the skeletal muscle and respiratory pumps

Which valves would be open during ventricular systole?
